Gear lever extension
G'Day All! Just lashed out and bought a pair of DriRider Urban boots. I have had both of my ankles fused, resulting in minimal movement of the ankles (up and down). Have now found that the gear lever is too short for me to fit my new boot under it to change up. I adjusted the home position of the ge...

Re: Instruments completely dead!
No...I didn't think of it. Will measure with the IGN on and get back to you.

Re: Instruments completely dead!
Yep! Sure enough, there is a post there to connect a jumper lead to the +ve terminal. Thanks for that. Measured the volts at 12.89, the inbuilt voltmeter in the instrument cluster indicates 12.3V, 0.6V low.

Re: Instruments completely dead!
Wow! I don't know. I'll pull the plastic off again (RHS) and have a better look. The older I'm getting, the more technophobic I'm becoming. Re: the dead instrument cluster...I wonder if pulling the fuses (there's only two of them) to check them, (thereby removing any power to whatever is still conne...

Re: Instruments completely dead!
When all else fails, read the instructions!! Found the fuses, both OK. Went to place meter across the battery, but v.difficult to get to the inboard post. Hit the IGN button, 'lo and behold, the instrument cluster burst into life, started the bike, everything seems to work OK. Anyway, delete all ref...

Instruments completely dead!
Haven't been riding much lately. Start the bike (2015R1200RT, keyless ign) regularly in the shed...starts OK. Battery is about 18month old. This time, failed to start, (symptoms of a low battery) but after several attempts, it burst into life. BUT...now the whole instrument panel is dead. When the I...

Spare key
Fellow RT owners...has anybody out there in cyberville ever used the plastic "spare" key to start their bike? From what I've read you need to pull part of the dashboard apart to get things happening. Alternatively, a direct replacement of the original battery operated key fob would be the ...

Re: Difficulty getting sidestand up
Interesting responses! Thank you. I haven't had a chance yet with the small hose clamp screwed firmly on the ball. I guess when all else fails I could try the piece of string idea. Another thought is to remove the side stand and weld a steel "hook" to the ball, pointing to the rear and the...

Difficulty getting sidestand up
I have a 2015 R1200RT. At times, I have great difficulty with getting the side stand up. At times I have needed to ask a bystander to flip it up for me! (v.embarrassing) The top of my shoe / boot doesn't at times doesn't get enough traction on the ball of the side stand so my foot keeps slipping off...

Riders Manual
Dear All, Sorry that I've been absent from this forum for quite a while. Its just that the RT is going like a dream and everything seems to be hunky dory at the moment. (Touch wood that it stays that way!!) A good mate of mine has just purchased an ex-police 2011 model R1200RT. He is desirous of the...

Plastic shroud, RHS at rear of right cylinder.
Dear All, As a newbie to the R1200RT, I've got what I think is a silly question, but it's annoying that I can't get it out of my head. Today I removed the black plastic shroud at the rear of the RHS cylinder, exposing the starter motor (at least I think it's the starter motor!) and other stuff. When...

Re: Emergency Key
Thanks!! Being a newbie to all this electronic wizardry, I was shoving the wrong thing into the gap above the instrument panel. It works!!
Thanks again.

Emergency Key
G'day! I'm new to this Forum. Just invested in a 2015 R1200RT, with 11,000Km on the clock. For the last 7 years my ride was a 1990 BMW K100LT. Then the R bike came available, and it blew me away!! Anyway, I have read the riders manual many times, and am trying to come to grips with how the little pl...
